#PPSAnailchallenge - Unicorn aka "Big girls, you are beautiful!"

*Sings* Yes,
I do, I believe, that one day I will be, where I was, right there, right next
to you! And it’s hard, the days just seems so dark, the moon, the stars are
nothing without you! *sing sobs* Thank you! Thank you! (And thank you Sam Smith
for the heart string pulling lyrics) I’ll be here all week!...I just missed you
guys mkaay?? And my lil space! *hugs blog* hello babeh...anyhoo, to the mucho
fun stuff. The #PPSAnailchallenge! If you haven’t heard about it yet, it’s a
challenge that the admin ladies (Ooh! Oooh! I’m one!) of the Polished Pretties
South Africa group on Facebook put together for the month on June to get our
creativity flowing. It is a challenge that is open to absolutely ANYONE, even
the smexy international beings. All you have to do is make a mani according the
theme and tag it using #PPSAnailchallenge. Le easy!

Unicorn

When I saw this prompt I was over the
moon because cmooon, frakking Unicorns! What is not to love?? Uuuumm...well
when it came to the actual mani my brain pulled the mother of all blanks. I had
zero and I mean ZERO ideas. And then it hit me like the beautiful flick of a
majestic Unicorn tail. With all this positive body imagery going on nowadays and
people learning to love themselves and embrace their imperfections, why not
celebrate the more fuller, fun loving, donut eating Unicorns?? Oh they exist!
Where do you think cupcake sprinkles come from?

I started out by laying down 2 coats
of Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the base for my mani. When this was dry I cut
a makeup triangle into smaller blocks and sponged on randomly over my nails
using Essence Free Hugs, Essence Love Is In Air, Color Club Twiggie,Sinful Colors Sail La Vie,
OPI Do You Lilac It, and China Glaze For Audrey. To add a bit of sparkle I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust over the sponged base. To make my donuts I used a
thin nail art brush, Essence Wanna Say Hello, Essence Free
Hugs Color Club Twiggie, OPI Do You Lilac Itand Sinful Colors Snow Me White. For the hearts I used my thin art brush and Sinful Colors Folly. Lastly I made my fuller figured unicorn using OPI Fly,
Tip Top Nail Chic Melting Marshmallow,
Sinful Colors Folly and WOW Nail Polish #393.

I kinda like how this came out! It’s
not 100% like I imagined in my head but it’s still cute and happy-feeling,
which is what I was going for. To me that is mission accomplished right?!
